This elapsed time math worksheet is designed to help students develop the crucial skill of calculating elapsed time, an essential component of time management. This worksheet focuses on understanding how to determine the duration of activities, which is a fundamental math skill for students.
Read the problem. Guide the student to read the problem, which asks them to calculate how long they napped if they start at 1:00 P.M. and wake up at 2:15 P.M.
Draw the start and end times. Encourage the student to use the clocks provided on the worksheet. They should draw the start time of 1:00 P.M. on the left clock and the end time of 2:15 P.M. on the right clock.
Fill in the timeline. The student should use the timeline in the middle of the worksheet to visualize the elapsed time. By marking the start and end times on the line, they can better understand the passage of time.
Complete the T-Chart. In the T-Chart, the student should write the start time in the left column, add the elapsed time (1 hour and 15 minutes), and then write the end time in the right column. This process reinforces their understanding of calculating elapsed time.
The worksheet includes explicit instructions for solving math problems step-by-step, ensuring students grasp each concept clearly and build confidence.
Printing options: in color.
